Turbo Boost Max 3.0: The frequency a favored core can reach when run with a full load in isolation during turbo time.Turbo Boost 2.0: The frequency every core can reach when run with a full load in isolation during turbo time.All-Core Turbo: The frequency the processor should run when all cores are loaded during the specified turbo time and limits.
Turbo: A frequency noted when below turbo power limits and turbo power time.Base Frequency: The guaranteed frequency when not at thermal limits.Intel has increased the amount of features on the chips with respect to how turbo performs. All of these processors support dual channel DDR4-2933, while others lower in the stack only support DDR4-2666 officially. Users looking for 8 cores and up will be in the $300 bracket. Certain models will also have F variants without integrated graphics, which will have a slightly lower per-unit cost. All of the Core i3, i5, i7, and i9 processors will have HyperThreading, making the product stack a lot easier to understand. The standard rated TDP is 65 W, with the overclocked models at 125 W, the low-power T models at 35 W, and Pentium/Celeron at 58 W. The range of 32 (!) new processors from Intel will vary from two core Celeron parts at 35 W all the way up to ten-core Core i9 hardware rated for 125 W, with per-unit pricing from $42 to $488. Not only that, despite the 125 W TDP listed on the box, Intel states that the turbo power recommendation is 250 W – the motherboard manufacturers we’ve spoken to have prepared for 320-350 W from their own testing, in order to maintain that top turbo for as long as possible. Users wanting the 10-core 5.3 GHz will need to purchase the new top Core i9-10900K processor, which has a unit price of $488, and keep it under 70 ✬ to enable Intel’s new Thermal Velocity Boost. The crux, according to Intel, is that it will offer the best gaming experience in this market. Comet Lake is the fifth iteration of Intel’s very profitable Skylake microarchitecture, built on Intel’s 14++nm process, at a time when the competition is on 7nm with sixteen cores. These chips, which fall under the banner of ‘Comet Lake’, will now go up to 10 cores and offer turbo speeds up to 5.3 GHz. Today we get the full range of its Intel’s 10 th Generation processors for desktops.
